The Murder of Bling Jeweler Hutchinson ought to make a good movie

The Detroit Double Cross: Murder Contract On "Hutch The Jeweler's" Head Was Set At $50K, Per Police File - The Gangster Report

There are many moving parts to the story, including the possible involvement of a con artist attorney in setting up the hit. Sounds like none of the players were Einstein-type intellects, including the customers. I can envision it being a Coen Brothers movie.

I knew him, not well but sold him a couple watches over the years [[watches are my hobby and a side business). Was always honest, upfront, easy to deal with and treated everyone who came in with respect.
It is quite a crazy story from what we have heard so far and Im sure it's going to get a lot more interesting.
I agree it has some strong potential for a movie.

His poor wife certainly must be traumatized. I hope she's doing okay.

"Mastermind" Marco Bisbikis was charged with planning the assassination of Hutch the Jeweler. What a moron? I hope the Coen Brothers are watching this story. It may be better than Fargo

District Court denied bond for mastermind lawyer, Marco Michael Bisbikis, the self-styled Godfather of Law. I've said it before, if the Coen Brothers make another film, this should be the story. So many interesting characters, including gang bangers, rapsters, bling-bling athletes. poor Hutch's wife, and stupid conspirators. And Oak Park near the defunct Eastland Mall is an allegory itself.

You probably meant to type Northland Mall.

I'd been to Northland Mall but can't remember if I'd ever been to Eastland Mall.

Bisbikis, Raptoplous and Roy Larry face probable cause hearings on Monday. Darnell Larry waived his preliminary exam in early November and his charges have been bound over to Oakland County Circuit Court.

The only thing close to the theory of relativity is that two brothers were involved. Lock them all up in a Smart car and throw away the key.

Bisbikis and Roy Larry are set to go to trial May 13.

Everybody is trying to make a buck. Article is behind a pay wall. It's bad enough we have to pay for TV, now you have to pay to read a newspaper article..

[Henry Whalley]

...now you have to pay to read a newspaper article..

You have to pay to see advertisements, too.

The last time I went to a movie theater, the first fifteen minutes were commercials. And when movie theaters became favorite venues for shooters with assault weapons, I decided that I'm not paying to get maimed or murdered.

P.S. Especially, if I have to pay to read about it in a newspaper.

I said NO, it will be like watching White Boy Rick and Jimmy Hoffa film all over again.

Like the myth of frogs reluctant to leave a pot of boiling water.

It seems our problems with technology often share a common thread. We foolishly expect there to be strategic solutions to inherently tactical problems.

A related problem is the idea of designing a car so that it cannot be started by a drunk driver. In emergencies, e.g, escaping a forest fire or a stalker in a bar's parking lot, you might want the car to work even if the driver were drunk. Neither the drunkstop technologists nor the car manufacturers want to be liable in those hypothetical situations {according to a story by WWJ} so what is to be done?

The assumption that AI will be able to solve all tactical problems with machine learning alone is flawed from the start. A system's ability to continuously improve its own performance is great but that alone does not mean that it can achieve any and all minimum necessary performance standards without human correction.

A hyperbola approaches its asymptote forever but never reaches it.
